CAVEAT

I can put up with the rejection

And the isolation;

I can handle all the crap

That comes my way;

But I can do it only if

I have the peace and the solitude

That permits me to be humble

And to pray.

NOTHING TO SPEND

Nothing is the greatest expectation

That I could ever hope to be given

In the end;

Because it was from nothing

That I was made

In the beginning and

It is nothing that I have

To give for the eternity

Which I will spend.

REST IN PEACE.

A dream ends because:

The dream died or

The dreamer awoke or

The dreamer was awakened or

The dreamer died.

 

The best for which anyone can hope is:

Never to have dreamed or

Never again to dream or

Never to awake to another reality or

Never to give others a chance to bother you or

Never to die or

To dream dreams that live and do not end or

To find peace between what is real and what is eternal or

To make the dream real;

To live the dream.

No wonder!

What do I expect?

From myself?

From life?

From you?

From this day?

From this prayer?
